At Tom’s Automotive, we’re experts in all phases of brake repair and service, including brake rotor replacement, front disc brake repair, parking brake adjustment, rear disc brake repair, rear drum brake repair, and anything else your brakes require. Although braking systems vary from vehicle to vehicle, the responsibility and importance of the components remains the same. From brake pedal to brake fluid to brake pads, calipers, lines, and hoses, let us make sure you’re ready to stop when you need to with comprehensive brake service.

Your vehicle’s belts, hoses, and radiator help keep your engine cool. An overheated engine can lead to a breakdown, which means radiator maintenance, including new belts and hoses when necessary, is very important to the overall functionality and performance of your vehicle. If your temperature gauge has been running high, or you’ve noticed a puddle of coolant under your car, it’s time to schedule radiator service because you likely have a belt or hose leak, or your radiator isn’t working properly. 

Our mechanics can take care of all your exhaust repair and service needs, including catalytic converter repair and replacement, exhaust manifold repair, muffler repair and replacement, turbocharger repair, and tailpipe repair and replacement. Your vehicle will run quieter, cleaner, and more efficiently after your exhaust system has been finetuned. If you’re concerned about the cost of exhaust repair, don’t forget to take advantage of our 5% off $100 and 10% off $250 service special.

When your vehicle is properly tuned, the ignition system, fuel system, emission system, and computer system are all working together in perfect harmony. When they are not, you need a tune-up. As part of a tune-up, we’ll check, and replace as necessary, your spark plugs, ignition coils, distributor cap, rotor, and ignition wires. Afterward, you’ll enjoy improved vehicle performance, and likely save money at the gas pump. At Tom’s Automotive, we don’t use tune-ups to sell other services, but to keep your vehicle running stronger longer.

Your vehicle’s battery delivers the electrical juice that puts (and keeps) everything else under your hood in motion. So, when your car or truck doesn’t start reliably, the first place to check is the battery. Of all auto repairs, battery replacement is relatively minor; however, a dead battery can leave you stranded and who wants to go through the embarrassment and hassle of getting a jumpstart? We recommend having your car battery routinely tested to ensure this doesn’t happen to you.

Your auto A/C system is responsible for cooling, purifying, and circulating air, which it does through a complex system of components, including a condenser, compressor, drive belt, and evaporator. Like most aspects of car maintenance, treating a problem with your vehicle’s air conditioning system early, when only one of these components is worn, can prevent the need for a more expensive repair down the road. At Tom’s Automotive, we handle all types of auto A/C service, from a simple recharge to diagnostics and air conditioning repair.
